Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Could epilepsy be inherited to the next generation?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as, can be inherited across generations. There is a significant genetic factor involved in its hereditary transmission, and the proportion of such inheritance is quite high. However, it is not advisable to avoid having children simply because of epilepsy, as this condition does not constantly recur. You have had epilepsy before, and you are doing quite well now, right? Therefore, do not avoid having children just because you have epilepsy. Even if you have children with epilepsy, there are relevant methods available for treatment.
